  • Captain Janeway :D

  • Man, I need this massage right this second.

  • please move to Europe

  • This is one of the classic instruction videos. It's also a cure for insomnia :P.

  • @jesusbuddhaman yup, feeling sleepy after watching this.

  • Omg I need this.

  • Please move to New York.

  • good video i love it/buen video muy claro

  • Any suggestions for questions to ask when looking for a place to get a massage? Just some things that'd help me avoid sketchy places or someone who would just halfass it. My GF used to give me backrubs but as my work got more physically demanding I seem to come home with knots and sore spots in my shoulders and back all the time and she works all day too and doesn't want to spend an hour a day working on my back.

  • @Godisangry Personal recommendations are always best. If none are available, just schedule 30 minutes and see if it's what you need. Increase time for the next appt.

  • @Godisangry Try your local community college and my mine cost about 20 bucks i have seen. I hope you feel better my good buddy !

  • Why didn't Ms. Salvo ee Alicia's face before she settle dinto the massage chair. She has a beautiful neck and probably is pretty.

  • @hfelton It was our third take and Alicia was most likely tired at this point. Yes, she is quite a beauty.

  • Susan, you're just brilliant. I need that masage more than anybody. I wish you came to my house (in Argentina) to bless me with your hands. Regards. Judit

  • @MsNewwoman11 Just show this video to your therapist.

  • @LAmassageschool Susan how much does this massage cost? This is the exact one I want.

  • I still say Digital Friction would be a great name for a band.

  • @cyantific35 I TOTALLY agree. I posted your "band name" suggestion on a FB comment thread recently and folks LOVED IT! Thanks!

  • @cyantific35 I agree :)

  • I just started watching your videos and I love them. I really appreciate the clarity of your explanations. You inspire me to become more knowledgable. Thanks!

  • @hannahleesbrain Thanks. I love massge therapy and massage education.

  • where do you teach and what is the name of the school?

  • @elizabethannshapiro Louisiana Institute of Massage Therapy!!

  • I almost fell asleep just watching this. If I had this done at work I'd be out like a light within a minute.

  • really really helpful muchos gracias!

  • @blurrillaz Tres bien

  • wow, fridays i workout my back and biceps, today my back is very sore, i would love this massage :)

  • thank you very sharing ur knowledge, keep posting more videos

  • @10zin1959 Thanks!! Ckout my new video on the Oakworks channel

  • Tres BON vidéo! Super!!!!!

  • @TheXalxitz - send her packing and go get a new one

  • I love this lady... she's like a massage ninja.

  • @TheXalxitz Then pay for one!

  • Made me sleepy

  • @TheXalxitz Practice makes Perfect!!!

  • what was that klonk klonk klonk thing :D

  • Excellent video. This has to be the most aggressive and satisfying chair massage I've ever seen. Am I the only one who loves the sound that results from massaging someone over their clothes? I have a very specific shirt I wear to work on massage days, simply because I love how the material sounds under the therapist's hands. Anyway, please post more videos when you have time -- I think you do an awesome job.

  • @jedinyt1 Thanks!!!

  • This helped so much for me to review :) Its been a few days since we had this stuff demonstrated to use at school so I was starting to forget and now we're doing it hands on tomorrow and I couldn't remember the stuff..yaay now I can practice on my hubby before class in the A.M. :D

  • @honeysweetnjuicy Thanks for sharing. Glad the review helped.

  • Great advices!

  • What is the purpose of massage anyway? I don't see what the big deal is........

  • @Jerbeezy82 clearly you've never had a good massage!

  • @BobFromAccounting2 nah. I just go around commenting on videos around the internet. Mostly NFL vids. I was kinda being sarcastic with my last comment. I'm sure massage is very helpful to people but I just don't see myself ever getting one.

  • @Jerbeezy82 try it once at least it feels Awesome!

  • Great demonstration....but one question, who massages the masseuse?

  • @talover403 Actually, I believe the recipient of the massage was a student, so really, the question is who massages the masseuse that massages the masseuse?

  • please do this to me, im begging you please!!

  • how do i get the job for massage chair model

  • Great work! May I ask what kind of chair you are using? Thank you

  • thats one very effective looking massage, im not a fan of those lymphodic massages.

  • I wanna get a massage but im fat. I bet masuses hate massaging fat people

  • @my89tube Honestly, most massage therapists won't even notice. You still have muscles, and that's what we're paying attention to; not your body type. Don't be afraid to get a massage because you don't want to be judged...a good therapist won't judge. :) And if you feel uncomfortable, don't go back to that person. Go get a massage!

  • @my89tube im flabby as well but have massages if i can, they are very good.

  • WOW! 18 people obviously did not go "Quack Quack Quackl!" :D

    

  • its nice but nothing new

    

  • I love these people as yourself, the ones that love their job.

  • need to have you provide us a full body massage video. Your technique is busy but so fluent-something almost contradictory. Can't help but impose your method on the imagined self. You leave me assured you'd do more for me than my very capable current therapist. If your ever out to Canada-specifically the Niagara region post it! I'll gladly share my credentials and expertise with you. Wonderful instruction

  • The masseuse has great massage hands. Roughens the whole back up! Relaxing to watch.

  • At 7:42 when she asked her if she is o.k. she hesitates! It would be totally cool if she lifted up her head and started screaming! She than would have fake eyeballs that would fall out her eye socket that she herself would crush! Then Zombies would walk around the room! By the way, awesome massage videos! I love watching Lita, Victoria Sprigg, Athena Jezik, and now I love watching yours. I mean they are out of sight now! Make sure you don't get none on you now! Those Zombies are nasty as hell!

  • the orms

  • I hardly ever comment on massage videos. I usually watch them before bed. I specifically like yours because of your enthusiastic energy, and how you care for your client, or friend/family. It's a comforting feeling watching this video. Thank you for sharing!

  • What a great demonstration, thank you. Makes me wish I was in the LA area so I could visit your establishment.

  • Very Nice Video! Take a look at our channel and lets become friends.

  • what is a great teacher....im LMT and i thank you for your great services to educate us about massage..

  • @1234fitness You are quite welcome. I LOVE massage education!!

  • Utter awesomeness...that is all :-)

  • @aaochief Doing the happy "chair massage" dance...

  • Very nice :) thanks. Im going to try this to my friend hopefully she likes it :)

  • Oakworks PortablePro. My favoriate chair.

  • What Chair is that?

  • Would love to see a video on scalp massage, those are so relaxing!

  • Just like to say, im pretty sure that wasnt a knot. Youtube search "the knot that's not"

    

  • Great video. I really love this because you explain why you're doing your movements instead of just playing music in the background. Really educational, really awesome. I hope to see more from you in the future!

  • @SkanRashke Yes ~ yes. Will post new material soon!

  • Hey, now that the YouTube time limit is no more, would you ever consider doing a longer version of this massage? I'd love to see it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one! :D

  • @MaddestHatterFilms That's a GREAT idea.

  • @LAmassageschool Awesome! I look forward to it! :D

  • Doesn't Susan Salvo sound more like the name of a super hero?

  • this seems a little violent to me... i dont think i would like all the shaking

  • @stressedcharmed Appearances can be deceiving. It's actually INCREDIBLY RELAXING!! Clients fall asleep ALL THE TIME.

  • I've watch this vid about 10 times...nice work.

  • @ironmike7777 THANKS!!!

  • No no no i like  Thai massage

  • That was fantastic, keep up the great work.

  • @missgingerchip Have you considered ICE?

  • very well and clear illustrations

  • @sande063 Thank you for the comment.

  • wait a minute... im no expert but when you said knees you pointed to her butt, that's not where MY knees are.... unless of course i have been ill-informed..

  • @LAmassageschool How long does a normal chair massage or massage in general last? Would I be correct in saying that they are between a half hour to an hour long? I'm just curious because it seems in order to do this for multiple people at those lengths of time would require great endurance, even with body mechanic usage. Does this simply develop over time or are there training courses geared toward increasing muscle strength? Always enjoy your videos, watch them weekly!

  • The massagee amused me!!

  • Awesome video! very well done! :)

  • I like your videos Susan. They're easy to follow for those of us new to massage therapy, and just to relax to. I love your voice :D

  • @kordin202 Thanks. I love to get and give massage.

  • Really good video! Would be great if you can do a full chair massage demo! ^^

  • @polarfoxterrier Great idea. I'll see what I can do.

  • This is the first time i have seen a chair massage demo that makes me want to get one :) Thank you!

  • Thanks alot ~ I bet She can't wait for me to try these out the next time we meet ;)

  • You need to remind people to drink water after a massage to help your body cleanse the fluids and materials that are released muscles. 

  • looks very relaxing i want it next lol im relaxed just by watching this video

  • What an awesome massage - and a fantastic massage therapist. This has been very helpful in giving some pointers for me. Thank you for the explanations too! Very clear and helpful. You really know your stuff!

  • Can I be next? I will do it for 8 mins and I will do it for free.

  • I wish I lived in a 23rd century so that I could instantly download my personal massage therapist.

  • Hi! I hope you get to see this. I'm an 18 year old college student. I was carrying a very heavy bag when I was a 9 year old elementary student and now my right shoulder burns when I do extensive exercise or hold it in one position too long. Is there any way to recity the problem a little or is it something I just have to live with?

  • @LadySakure Try a massage therapist or chiropractor. If that doesn't help, go see your doctor for evaluation and treatment. Good luck.

  • @LAmassageschool Thank you!

  • Hey I'm 15 and I like to give my girl(friends) massages, of course we don't get half naked and I don't have all that fancy massaging equipment, but I was wondering, any tips?

  • @0oTJCo0 The techniques on my videos is a GREAT way to start. TIPS? Lots of practice as a giver and receiver

  • @LAmassageschool Why its important for a therapist to receive massages?

  • A game massage! I'm digging her great vibe too

  • ya she is definitely the best, i wish she was located in IL i would totally get one, i've had professional massages but none quite as good as hers looks like

  • @memattmyself Thanks ~ my clients seem to like these techniques

  • @LAmassageschool

    I'm just wondering why your massaging so fast? Is ther a therapuetic reason? Thanks very good video :)

  • Oh my God i swear she was working where all my knots were. I have this huge one on top of my right shoulder and it's so tense it feels like a bone!

  • Fantastic massage and technique :) Thanks for posting!!

  • @tehgermangirl You are very welcome. Glad you like it!

  • 10 people mistaked the dislike for dis i like.

  • @pacemiester Clever. 10 people out of almost 200,000 ~ looks like we are doing something right

  • @LAmassageschool Amen best massage video on youtube.

  • Your style is very Tuina! :) Which I love giving & receiving. Thanks for the upload/post.

  • Are you going to make anymore videos?

  • @hukle76 I will be lecturing at the World Massage Conference 11/16/10 and at the LA AMTA 12/4-5/10. Once my plate is clear, I plan to shot more videos. THANKS FOR THE INTEREST!!!

  • Glad you like the video.

  • god aleisha is just rocken all over the place :) your a very talented and brillient massage thapyst!!

  • want to ask about the chair... it's perfect for the massage. want to buy it for me. can you tell me where to buy?

  • @daelds My fav chair is Oakworks Portal pro

  • @LAmassageschool

    the one your using is Oakworks portal pro? I always love watching you doing the chair massage... actually you are in my Facebook....thank you very much.

  • I liked some of your techniques, but I am curious if you always work at that speed and intensity or if you slow things down for an actual massage. Was the speed for the video demo purposes?

  • @beautifulmind546 Everything is relative. Look at the headache video and note the difference in style. .

  • Man, my whole back was tingling while watching this. Amazing job!

  • @Beamernator Watching is nice - getting it is even better!!! Hope you schedule one soon.

  • @LAmassageschool Where is chair massage done? I've heard of it being done in airports but I was thinking about it as a faster, easier alternative to a 60 minute session....

  • lady you're awesome.

  • Thanks so much for posting !! The best chair massage instruction I have seen . I didn't care for chair massage in school but you can reach a lot of people who may not go the traditional table massage rout ... ok i'm motivated again : )

  • @dradabaugh WOW - Thanks for the feedback!!!

  • Great videos!! I am a Massage Therapist, I'm petite and sometimes have a hard time with large clients, any suggestions?

  • @Rosibel79 I personally work on large clients in a regular (not massage) chair. I hope to post a video showing this modification soon.

  • @LAmassageschool Thank you for your answer, any suggestions when you are working with large clients on the massage table?

  • @Rosibel79 Suggestions: Lower your table as most obese clients have wider-than-normal girth. Many clients suffer from sleep apnea and other breathing problems, so elevate their upper body while supine and limit the time prone. Use a large flat sheet or an extra-large towel as a top drape. Some clients may elect not to disrobe, so be willing to work through clothing.

  • @LAmassageschool love it how u call them obese :)

  • U certainly know what your doing. Most don't realize chair can be both therapeutic & a great marketing tool. Realize it isn't just their technique. If your not prepared to continually market yourself, forget it. For those considering massage School DO YOUR HOMEWORK! The quality of your education is paramount 2 your success. Before U speak to any school 1st go in & get an actual massage at sev. Many schools run an affordable student clinic. Wish I where in LA because this lady is a PRO!

  • @EFT4MeDebi Thanks. I love it this work!!!

  • You are sooo lucky - I going to try to score a massage this next wk!!!

  • They had free chair massages at my college the other day, these massages felt soo relaxing...

  • Where can I get a massage from u?

  • plezzzzz do more videos im addicted lolz ur awsome terrific fantastic and other words lolz

  • @MangerBaby1 We'll having something up by Christmas. Thanks for your interest in massage.

  • how do you find a 'spot' in the first place? like.....how do you know that there's a knot? does it feel like one? :/

  • @missmerieminlove Well, I know where trigger points are because I had a map. But knots also have a very different consistency.

  • Susan looks like she would give the best massage ever. Also, her voice is very relaxing. I like. :D

  • I always find these kind of videos so relaxing and Susan seems like a really fun teacher. I wished I lived in USA right now. :D Greetings from Sweden!

  • @Swedeandtasty Wow. Thanks.

  • waz she tight in thiz video u worked her good lolz

  • Susan,

    I noticed that you mentioned Trager movements. Are you a practitioner in that field, also? I read the article about him in your book during my 1000 hours at OSTM in Rochester, NY , and was fascinated.

    BTW - Using your book to prep for the Boards which are on the 26th. Wish me luck!

  • @sandman4224 I have taken all levels of Trager that they offered in 1985. However, because I do not financially support the Institute annually, I cannot call myself a Trager Practitioner. But it is great work; recommend it to anyone, but the politics of the Institute…. Good luck with your upcoming exam.

  • @LAmassageschool Understood.Thanks...

  • thanks for sharing this idea susan... 

  • i got one of these at the mall a few days ago. It's great for sore muscles due to working out!

  • @Wesley296 I agree - I love massage for sore tender muscles.

  • Thanks, This has helped me. I am a massage therapist in Wisconsin and sometimes I get bored with my regular routine. Thanks for the good ideas!

  • geez shes so vigorous

  • Susan, thanks a million for this video, I will be starting up shortly with an Oakworks Chair myself, all the tips you give here are really great! Kudos!!! 5 Stars!!!

  • @Nubian1 Thanks to you and the previous poster. So thrilled you enjoy the clip. I hope to post more soon.

  • a five star video/

  • new vids please maybe deep tissue or swedish??

  • @LAmassageschool TEMPORARILY COMATOSE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

  • Awesome.. you have a great personality and a wonderful technique.. being a massage therapist myself I can see how much you love what you do.. I envy your clients for you.. i was happy to see that you do tapotement.. most of my colleagues don't do it.. I love it.. wonderful job.. thank you!

  • @godistruelove Thanks. I'm glad my efforts are appreciated. I do love massage and the relief it brings to clients (and views too, I suppose).

  • videos like this make me wanna take up massage therapy. it looks like a fun job

  • thank you sooo much.....now i can sleep..

  • 2.46 klunk klunk klunk this is her muscles lol

  • How long did it take for you to start to automatically maintain your own proper posture (I tend to bend over what I'm doing)? How about your own muscle fatigue in your shoulders and hands? I have just ordered a massage chair and I would like to be able to give a satisfying massage my always-tense wife. thanks!

  • @Satcomguy333 Bending is okay, just bend your knees not your back. When possible, use leverage over muscle strength. Be sure to work out to gain endurance. Be sensible - take a break or sit down if you get tired while massaging your wife. She'll understand.

  • Wow, I've been doing a lot of chair massages lately and this video has really inspired me to add some of Susan's tecniques. It seemed like the client was being roughed up quite a bit, but when I thought about it, I realized that has to feel amazing! Can't wait to try it. Gonna have to get more into this trager Method.

  • @juruiz899 It's a little like rocking a baby. And every client has his or her own rhythm. And imposing unnatural rhythm is not the best method. Alisha's rhythm happens to be a little faster than most. I think both you and your client will enjoy the experience.

  • @LAmassageschool ok, that makes sense. wow, even Erik Dalton has noticed your videos, keep up the good work !

  • There is decaf, you know? Other than that great video!
